Tender for Cleaning and Disinfection of Drinking Water Tanks in Elche (Spain)
The input text concerns several procurement procedures of Aigües i Sanejament d’Elx, S.A., a water utility company in Elche, Spain, focusing particularly on the contract “Servicio de limpieza y desinfección de los depósitos de agua potable de Aigües i Sanejament d’Elx”.
The legal and procedural framework is Spanish public procurement law (LCSP and Real Decreto‑ley 3/2020), and the point of view throughout is that of a Spanish contracting entity conducting EU‑level tenders published via the Spanish Public Sector Procurement Platform and, where applicable, the Official Journal of the European Union.
Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the texts specify that, for the cleaning and disinfection service, tenderers must file an electronic offer via the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público before 04/11/2026 at 13:00.
The administrative and qualification information is to be provided using Annex nº 2, the DEUC/ESPD form (capacidad de obrar, no prohibición de contratar, no incompatibilidades, cumplimiento con la Seguridad Social y obligaciones tributarias), signed electronically by the authorised representative.
The technical offer must be presented as a “Propuesta Técnica” in Envelope 1 in line with the PCAP, and the financial offer via Annex nº 3 “Proposición Económica” in Envelope 2. As such, minimum economic solvency must be proven by an annual turnover in line with art. 87.1 LCSP, not exceeding 1.5 times the estimated contract value; minimum technical solvency must be demonstrated by a list of similar services over the last three years with an annual volume at least 70% of the average annual value of the contract (70% of 15,793 €), with details on amounts, dates and clients, plus specific registration in the ROESB for biocide services (environmental, livestock, food industry, prevention of legionellosis) and personnel qualifications according to RD 487/2022.
Other services/supplies appearing in the text (transport of waste, PPE and clothing, lab reagents, works and design services) each have their own solvency rules, such as: insurance of 600,000 € for professional risks in the design/supervision contract, specific track records and CPV‑linked references for engineering services, or experience in waste transport (over 300 trips/year) with valid authorisation as a non‑hazardous waste transporter.
The contract is procured as an open simplified procedure with an initial duration of two years and up to three one‑year extensions, giving a maximum of five years.
The estimated value is 78,965.57 € (excluding VAT) for the full potential duration; the annual budgets per year are given (for example, 29,051.33 € first year, 7,074.94 € second year, 1,467.40 € third year, 38,075.20 € fourth year, 3,296.70 € fifth year).
As such, the works are to be performed on the reservoirs specified in the PCAP and any others added during the contract, with no price revision clause.
The other tenders included in the text illustrate similar structures: for instance, the waste transport service has a base budget of 102,689.60 € per year (308,068.80 € for three years), while PPE/vestuario and lab reagents are multi‑lot supply contracts with defined lot budgets and durations.
For award criteria and weighting, the cleaning and disinfection tender uses a mixed evaluation model, such as: criteria evaluable by formula (60 points for the financial offer, 10 points for “certificados” and 5 points for availability of a tanker truck with pumping and suction equipment) plus 25 points for the technical proposal assessed by value judgment.
Offers are valid for two months.

The opening of automatically evaluable criteria (economic envelope) is scheduled via telematic means on 26/11/2026 at 17:25, with a non‑public act as allowed by art. 157.4 LCSP.
Subcontracting is allowed under arts. 215 and following LCSP, as detailed in the PCAP.
Regarding risks and special conditions, the documents systematically set a definitive guarantee (fianza) of 5% of the adjudication amount or related base/estimated values, with no price revision for these service and supply contracts.
For the cleaning and disinfection service, there is explicitly no additional warranty period due to the nature of the service.
Payment terms are 30 days in line with Spanish anti‑late‑payment legislation, and there is a special performance condition aimed at promoting gender equality and conciliation measures for staff.
As such, exclusion grounds follow the general LCSP catalogue (e.g. criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism, social/ labour/ environmental infringements, bankruptcy, conflict of interest, misrepresentation, non‑payment of taxes or social security), all to be declared via the DEUC.
The question deadline and site visits are not explicitly stated in the extracted text; bidders must consult the full PCAP and contracting profile for clarifications.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 22/10/2026
